The Wall Street Journal has hired a second former BusinessWeek writer who became a Bloomberg News hand after it acquired the weekly business magazine.

Ben Levisohn will be covering stocks and investing for the Money & Investing section under Ken Brown, according to a source at the Journal.

Last week, the Journal hired Jessica Silver-Greenberg away from Bloomberg, shortly after she penned a cover story for Bloomberg Businessweek. Silver-Greenberg will also be working for the Money & Investing section.

At BusinessWeek, Levisohn covering finance and personal finance. After teaching preschool for three years, Levisohn moved to New York to trade stocks. He caught the tail end of the bubble and then traded through the long decline and recovery.

He joined BusinessWeek in 2007 and Bloomberg at the end of last year.
